JOE HARRIS (Jim Z Rider/US Presswire)

VIRGINIA 67, Oregon (Ducks, 19,534 students, Eugene, OR) 54 – The Wahoos are a different and much
better team with Mike Scott on the floor.
The senior forward scored 17 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead the
Virginia men's basketball team to a victory over the Ducks on Sunday.

The double-double was Scott's fourth of the season and the
28th of his career.

The victory was the seventh in a row for the Cavaliers and
improved their record to 9-1 on the season. The loss dropped Oregon's record to
6-3. UVa is 9-1 for the first time since the 2003-04 season.

Sophomore guard Joe Harris scored 15 points and had five
rebounds for Virginia, while junior guard Jontel Evans had 12 points, five
assists, four rebounds and one steal. Senior guard Sammy Zeglinski and freshman
guard Malcolm Brogdon added nine points for the Cavaliers.

Jackson went 8-for-13 from the field and 7-for-11 from
beyond the arc. He is the first BC player to hit seven 3-pointers in a game
since Tyrese Rice did it against North Carolina on March 1, 2008. Jackson also
hauled in five rebounds.

WAKE FOREST 67, Gardner-Webb (runnin' Rebels, 4,300 students, Boiling Springs, NC) 59 – The Demon Deacons improved to 7-4 on the
season behind a career night from senior center Ty Walker, who tied his career
high with 12 points and set a new personal best with nine rebounds. Junior
guard C.J. Harris led Wake with 18 points, while sophomore forward Travis McKie
chipped in with 15 points and seven rebounds.

Freshman guard Chase Fischer helped the Deacs close out the
win with five late free throws to finish with 11 points in front of a home
crowd of 6,717.

JAMES (Seminoles.com)

FLORIDA STATE 77, Loyola Marymount (Lions, 5,797 students, Los Angeles, CA) 61 – After a stretch of
three games in with the 'Noles sustained 18, 21 and 26 turnovers, respectfully,
Florida State tied a season-low with 16 giveaways against the Lions (6-5).

While FSU was doing its best to keep the numbers low in the
turnover category, senior Bernard James was doing the opposite on offense and
on the glass.

For the second game in a row, James registered a
double-double in points and rebounds. His team-high 17 points accompanied his
game-high 12 rebounds as James earned his fifth double-double of the season
despite a 3-for-12 mark from the free-throw line.

WHERE IN THE WORLD...?
